Where in the 2014 rankings do you think Towns will fit in? Now its either Tyus Jones or J. Okafor at the #1 spot, and Towns will have to leap frog them to take over at #1 and I think he very well may do just that but may have to go up against some top notch players before he earns that spot although he has gone up against some impressive non HS players already.

ESPN has him #3 at this point. I have checked the other services but I havent seen any changes yet. Kind of early for some to have changed the rankings though.

Thats his mother and I think she was very happy with the decision. As far as if she knew or not its hard to believe she didnt considering how close they are. The decision was Karls but input from Pops and mom was taken into account of that I am sure. Towns is a perfect player to build a class around and lookout the class of 2013 is going to be 1 of the best ever but if Cal can get 3 o4 of the players he is in with then the class of 2014 just might be close to the 2013 group, maybe just maybe a tad bit better. 2014 team: Towns--PF, Mudiay/Jones---PG, Rashaad Vaughn--SG, Cliff Alexander--Center, Trey Lyles---SF. NUFF SAID!!!!

Josh, what do you think of that ranking, since he was #1 in the 2015 class?

Seems a little low, but I don't spend the time around them that Chris, Jerry and those guys do. I will defer to them.

I dont claim to be a recruiting whiz kid but 24/7 has Towns at 11 and Okafor at #8. These are off from other services especially Okafor. Scout has Towns at #7 and ESPN AT #3 and now 24/7 at #11. A little bit of a difference of the evaluation of where Towns falls into place in the 2014 class. Cant wait to see where Rivals and CBS puts him at.

What's his actual height anyways.
I have read...
6'10"
6'11"
7' and change
and zag article just said 7'1" + change.
7'1" guy stroking a three isn't going to be very good for other teams...Bigger version of Kevin Love?

Good question, I have seen him touted at 6'11 and 7'0 on different national sites so maybe he is 6'11 1/2, just kidding but both heights have been used multiple times by different sites but havent seen the Zags blog yet.
